I as well just bought and installed Suse 8.0 pro and totally love it , i have tried Mandrake and Red hat as well as all the windows os's. The only problem i have is when i want to listen to music i cant seam to get the directory from e drive to show up , its on my linux desktop but shows up as empty, i then transfered all the files to a linux directory and it now works . My question is why wouldnt it read it before????? Gary

Welcome to SuSE, the best consumer distro, IMHO. What probably was happening is that you need to mount the Windows drive. That is, if you just browse to it you will see the mount-point Windows_E, but the partition hasn't been mounted yet, so you don't see any files. The easiest way is to just click on the Windows_E icon on the desktop - this mounts the partition and also opens the file-browser. Alternatively, you can right-click the icon, and select Mount, and then open the browser manually. Alternatively, you can edit the /etc/fstab file to mount that partition automatically at boot, so you don't have to do it manually. With Linux, it's all up to you. Best wishes Kevin
